Mote Marine Lab and Aquarium – www.mote.org
Mote Marine Laboratory was founded in 1955 as an independent marine research institution. Through the years, Mote has distinguished itself through the seamless integration of its research enterprise with education, public outreach and public policy programs. Mote’s range of services is a keystone attribute defining its uniqueness among its peers.
While marine and coastal research has always been Mote’s core function, our endeavors emphasize the need for this research to have a positive impact on the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources to benefit our local, national and international communities. It is this global vision that gives Mote the ability to define its scientific mission as both local and worldwide in scope.
Many of today’s leading marine scientists, oceanographers and ecologists received their scientific spark at a marine laboratory. Since we opened our doors, Mote has supported thousands of young researchers and excited their passions for the oceans for the betterment of us all. Our unique outreach and education programs have also excited and educated thousands of minds and helped them become better stewards of the coastal environment. By bringing together the best minds for inquiry, discovery, innovation, teaching and policy development, we envision a 21st century Mote Marine Laboratory to be among the most creative and fruitful research endeavors in the world.
